    "abstract": "Cavity-mediated cooling of the center--of--mass motion of a transversally,\ncoherently pumped atom along the axis of a high--Q cavity is studied. The\ninternal dynamics of the atomic dipole strongly coupled to the cavity field is\ntreated by a non-perturbative quantum mechanical model, while the effect of the\ncavity on the external motion is described classically in terms of the\nanalytically obtained linear friction and diffusion coefficients. Efficient\ncavity-induced damping is found which leads to steady-state temperatures\nwell-below the Doppler limit. We reveal a mathematical symmetry between the\nresults here and for a similar system where, instead of the atom, the cavity\nfield is pumped. The cooling process is strongly enhanced in a degenerate\nmultimode cavity. Both the temperature and the number of scattered photons\nduring the characteristic cooling time exhibits a significant reduction with\nincreasing number of modes involved in the dynamics. The residual number of\nspontaneous emissions in a cooling time for large mode degeneracy can reach and\neven drop below the limit of a single photon.",
